description
How do you get popular frameworks such as Foundation or Bootstrap to work with your theme? What about features that don't work right away? Are sub-themes a good approach? In this session we will cover an opinionated and tested approach to implementing themes with front-end frameworks. The talk will use Foundation for examples, but the principle can be applied to other frameworks, such as Bootstrap. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Understanding the purpose of front-end frameworks. How to go from prototype to theme. How to implement the framework's features. Overriding Drupal's defaults to work with the framework. You don't need the Kitchen Sink: Thoughts on features and performance. A note about sub-theming. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: James Moughon is a Developer at Astonish Design. James implements unique solutions with Drupal and other technologies. He has successfully implemented Foundation and other front-end frameworks on many projects.
